Apology sought after mistaken police raid at pastor home
Authorities in San Antonio sought followup apologies after a warrant was mistakenly served at 2 a.m. at the home of Dr. Royce Calhoun, a Baptist minister and husband to a pregnant wife. Deputies had four warrants for a man linked to forfeiture and stolen property cases. Calhoun, assistant pastor, said officers were loud and rude and that the delay in clearing the error showed poor groundwork. He noted the man they sought no longer lived there. Warrant issuance dated back to last November and December.
